We're getting a good rain about once a week, which keeps the grass growing, which means me having to mow the lawn when it's 95 degrees out. <br /><br />Yep, I like a lot of BTE's stuff. I'm curious as to why you wouldn't have thought so.Bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10096591352278195759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-30795700814469054382015-07-26T09:22:11.531-05:002015-07-26T09:22:11.531-05:00Thank you.

My summer was walking beans, putting up tens of thousands of bales of hay into barns that made the hot temps outside seem a tad bit chilly, painting the buildings, cultivating the crops on an open tractor and more such chores. I don't think I ever swam in a city pool until I was well into my high school years and that was on a field trip.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-22430256339617413512015-07-16T11:41:15.351-05:002015-07-16T11:41:15.351-05:00This summer has been weird for us also... we'v...This summer has been weird for us also... we've been calling it early fall as our temps have not been high at all.
